HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

There are different possible causes for irregular bleeding. These include some of the following : (1) polycystic ovarian syndrome- this is one of the more common causes
(2)emotional stress or illness
(3)thyroid disease
(4)physical illness
(5)abnormal levels of a hormone called prolactin
(6)side effect of medication

To determine the cause, you would need to be assessed by your doctor. This would include physical examination plus blood tests and imaging.
Blood tests may include thyroid function tests, prolactin levels, FSH, LH and testosterone.
The last three are used for the polycystic ovarian syndrome.

Ultrasound of the pelvis to take a look at the uterus, ovaries and tubes may also be suggested.

I hope this helps
